I don't even think that's a proper use of Harsher In Hindsight...
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallSeems like natter to me, the troper who wrote the justification is basically saying "no, that's not what happens", making the whole entry kind of pointless. Needs rework.
Edited by Tomodachi To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back."This is technically not what happened". Yeah, that note is pure Natter. This entire entry should go.
Actually, ~War Jay 77, this is one time I think we may have a legit entry. The event in the movie is made harsher by the movie's director getting away for similar crimes.
Very least there's a more direct link than I usually see with these.
Edited by sgamer82I honestly dunno on this one. Like, my default position on RL Harsher in Hindsight examples is that they're almost always shoehorns, and there is a bit of that going on here - but it's also pretty much true to say that Polanski escaped justice for his crime in every meaningful sense.

From YMMV.Chinatown:
Is it me or does the justifying note need changing?
